Nobility in Battle: February 14, 2019

Focus: According to Shakespeare, what does it mean to lead a noble life? What does it mean to have a noble death?

1. Warming up with the lyrics of the Flobots and connecting them back to Macbeth's (self-?) destruction

2. Battling out the rest of Act 5 with a focus who lives, who dies, and why it matters:

In your in-class work document (or with sticky notes--your choice), keep a list of which characters die. For each one, discuss and write down...

• How does the character die?

• Is the death a "noble" one (think back to your brainstorming from last week)?

• How is the manner of death is fitting for each particular character? Try to think of each death symbolically.

• Which characters get to live, and why is significant that they survive?

3. If time allows, viewing and discussing Polanski's interpretation of Act 5
